By the second week of November, Old Hook Road is running with leaves — they gather in the gutters, drift against the fences, and blow back across the lawn the moment you turn your head. Avalos M&A Tree Service works Westwood through that long fall stretch, clearing the yard down to grass again, cutting the lawn short for the cold, and emptying the beds before the ground hardens. There is a real satisfaction in the last cleanup of the year: the property bare, swept, ready to be left alone until March. Valley light goes thin and blue by four in the afternoon this time of year, and a finished yard looks its best in it.
